Pilut said he would come back, and Beniers will be ready he's a great skater which will help him be nhl ready.

When, He's halfway through his KHL deal and only has a year after that to become UFA. Beniers is going to need to bring more than just skating ability

I think Buffalo is going to need to make serious adds in this offseason to keep Eichel from requesting a trade.

We need 2 nhl goalies next year. Ullmark isnt signing for that, im wondering if he hasnt already checked out anyways. Ullmark is a perfectly average nhl goalie who had a winning record on a last place team (9-6) Every other goalie has been below replacement level and it has contributed heavily to us getting crushed (our other goalies are a combined 4-23).

Ullmark has proved he can be a starter this year, and he said he would stay. Brossoit is a good backup he has a positive GSA and GSAA

Not like we'll land any big FA's who would wanna play here. Its up to our young guys to show eichel its worth staying and if a trade happens its prolly next offseason

Didn't know he was still on his KHL deal. And Beniers will def be NHL ready have you watched him? Plus when is the last time a first overall pick didn't play his first year.

The concensus #1 is Power. Sabres are reaching for Berniers because of positional need. I hope he could be ready but as a Sabre fan, im extremely cautiously optimistic

I mean, I think that's the problem. The young guys aren't going to be moving the needle. Cozens and Mittelstadt are improving, but not close to their ceilings and probably won't be for 2-3 years. Eichel needs players he can play with now.
